I had a blue and white set with a dino on the front. Two-piece, so I didn’t have to shuck more than the usual when I had to hit the loo.

Unfortunately, we kids were also used to running and sliding on this long tiled hall that we had in the house. Put a horde of 3 younguns howling like the monkeys we were running down a regular-width tiled hall in footy pajamas.

…

…

…

And the inevitable happens. I tripped, slipped, and otherwise generally lost my footing and went face first into the tile. This resulted in a ginormous whack to the mouth – and My Very First Visit to the dentist to ensure I hadn’t done myself a mischief.

I think I wore the footy jammies again after that, but I’ve since discovered a dislike for wearing socks to bed unless I’m absolutely freezing. My feet must be free to breathe! (barring the occasions when I tuck one set of toes into the back of the other knee for warmth… go figure.)

I’d wear that. That looks _comfy_.

You would be so cute, I bet.

I bought some of those adult footie pajamas a few years ago. I couldn’t wear them because they pulled (too tall for them, I guess) and the feet were tight. Darn my massive clodhoppers!

When I was a wee one, I used to have Winnie the Pooh feeties with cracked traction feet. They went well with my Wonder Woman Underoos.

I can’t wear them now, though. My feet would sweat, and I hate sweaty feet. Not that any of you needed to know that.

Target still sells them. When they’re on the rack they’re taller than I am. I couldn’t sleep in something so confining, though.

Well, you can try the site I bought the gift pair from: [Jumpin’ Jammerz](http://www.jumpinjammerz.com). They have lots of colors to choose from, even prints (cows jumping over the moon? hippos and hearts? GOT ‘EM.) Not sure how they’d fit you, but it may be worth a try; they say “small” is for 5’ to 5’5".
